A new post is like a new mitten...

...smelling of a bargain steal and cheap fabrication.

I hate being unoriginal and dull. But that's so hard to avoid when I just feel like writing so much and have nothing I particularly want to write about. God willing, this post will be one of inspiration.

Maybe one point I can consider worth sharing is that I realized today that my God is a gracious one.

Months ago, I was best friends with a guy I secretly had hopes of being more than friends with. Downer-he was completely set on having a romantic relationship with my friend. The whole situation was terribly complicated. I recall him even telling me once in a frustrated huff of a conversation “Please don’t ever do to me what I’m doing to her!” (This was liking her when she didn’t like him back). Current situation; Turned out his feelings eventually turned on me (which was, to be honest, pretty convenient). He and I are dating and are hopelessly head over heels for eachother...And I thought it could never happen.

When this school year started, I was so pumped to gain more (and better) friends in a different school than last year, and to work towards skyrocketing grades. Unfortunately, reality struck and I found out a lot of people in my new school weren’t as friendly as I’d hoped. Eating my lunch alone outside (where no one could see me) became routine and my marks wavered up and down as the days grew depressing and somewhat meaningless. I had ventured into a land of isolation which I thought was going to be one of jovial fervour. Current situation; I have an absolutely fantastic best friend in grade 10 who I eat lunch, shop, dance and work out with all because she was brave enough to ask to eat lunch with me one day. She was just as equally lonesome, and I-being ignorant and self-centred- had no idea beforehand. We can act like complete fools around eachother and still have a good time. My marks are at least better than last year’s.

I had a good close friend a while back. He and I talked so much every day it could blow your head off. When a misunderstanding occurred over texting (I don’t recommend having conversations over text. Whoops!), we didn’t talk for months afterwards. We were both so angry and headstrong and completely set on being right. A bit ago, no warning whatsoever, he confronted me. We both ended up apologizing and forgetting the whole thing. Current situation; we are each other’s confidants.

God is gracious. Plain and simple and so freaking true. Points of life where I thought things were hopeless- he easily flipped around.

I don’t have many friends…but each one is a true blessing from God.
